1 20501654 Identification of microRNA-93 as a novel regulator of vascular endothelial growth factor in hyperglycemic conditions.
2 20501654 Here, we provide evidence that microRNA-93 (miR-93) regulates VEGF expression in experimental models of diabetes both in vitro and in vivo.
3 20501654 We identified VEGF-A as a putative target of miR-93 in the kidney with a perfect complementarity between miR-93 and the 3'-untranslated region of vegfa in several species.
4 20501654 We showed that forced expression of miR-93 in cells abrogated VEGF protein secretion.
5 20501654 Conversely, anti-miR-93 inhibitors increased VEGF release.
6 20501654 Transfection of miR-93 also prevented the effect of high glucose on VEGF downstream targets.
7 20501654 Using transgenic mice containing VEGF-LacZ bicistronic transcripts, we found that inhibition of glomerular miR-93 by peptide-conjugated morpholino oligomers elicited increased expression of VEGF.
8 20501654 Our findings also indicate that high glucose decreases miR-93 expression by down-regulating the promoter of the host MCM7 gene.
9 20501654 Taken together, our findings provide new insights into the role of miR-93 in VEGF signaling pathway and offer a potentially novel target in preventing the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
